Quick compare — what to look for

Higher headline speeds cost more; for most homes 200–500 Mbps is enough. Consider upload needs if you run cloud backups or stream high-quality video.

Check if a technician visit is required and whether a router is included. Some faster tiers need fibre termination inside the property.

Compare minimum contract periods, early termination fees, and bundled perks like streaming add-ons or discounts for multiple services.
